To mark the sixtieth anniversary of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy (December 4, 1963 to 2023), the FDLC has prepared a prayer service. It quotes heavily from the Constitution itself, even the intercessory prayers draw from the language of the Sacrosanctum Concilium.
It is structured as an “Office of Readings” with pericopes from Scripture, Sacrosanctum Concilium, and Desiderio desideravi. It might be used with your diocesan worship commission, with your parish team, with your clergy Emmaus groups, with your faculty or students, with music ministers, or other liturgical ministers.

Though the First Sunday of Advent will take priority this Sunday, consider using/adapting some of the petitions for use at this Sunday’s Masses or at Monday’s Masses (on the actual anniversary).
